Summer is in full swing, and what better way to enjoy it than with a juicy, sweet peach? Peaches are a staple fruit of the season, and at Panorama, we take pride in growing some of the finest peaches you'll ever taste.

But how do you pick the perfect peach? With so many varieties to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming, especially for those who are new to peach picking. In this week's blog, we'll take a closer look at what makes a great peach and how you can select the best ones.

The first thing to look for is color. A ripe peach should have a rich, golden yellow color with a slight blush of red. This is a good indication that the peach is sweet and juicy. Another important factor to consider is the scent. A ripe peach should have a sweet aroma that invites you to take a bite.

When it comes to texture, look for peaches that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy. This will ensure that the fruit is both sweet and juicy. Avoid peaches that are too firm, as they may be underripe and won't have the same flavor or texture as a ripe peach.

Finally, remember that peaches are delicate fruits and can bruise easily. Be gentle when selecting them, and try not to squeeze too hard. When you bring your peaches home, store them in a cool, dark place, and allow them to ripen at room temperature for a day or two before eating.

We hope that this week's blog has helped you understand the art of peach picking and that you are inspired to go out and enjoy the delicious summer fruits. From all of us at Panorama, happy peach picking!
